LOL- i can picture it now.... she was probably going down on the valve stem!Travis71902 said:
But man, i'm jealous. I was looking forward to roasting the shitty rear tire that came with my bike, but the wheels needed to be powdercoated.... and i don't want to have to pay to have that piece of shit remounted.... ah well. Would have made a nice way to break in the new bike.....
I'll need a new tire in a few months, though

shit man... this whole "my bike is in about 40 gajillion pieces" thing is killing me.Travis71902 said:lmao

with any luck at all.... i should have it together in three weeks.
That probably ain't gonna happen, though. I'm supposed to be selling some stock that i need to get rid of, but my broker transferred to H&R Block, and it's been a hassle transferring my shit over to him.... it should have been done when i signed everything on March 4th. Which is BEFORE i got my bike. And it's still not done. So my stock is sitting in limbo. I just hope i can sell it before i have to start paying my student loans, or i'm a little screwed.
So yeah- that's a sore subject right now. That, and people on eBay that are not sending me my parts in a timely fashion. GRRRRRRRRAHHHHHH!!!!
Ok, i'm done now.

Actually, not quite. I'm moving out of indiana in six weeks. And the guy letting me keep my bike in his garage is selling his house in 8 weeks.Travis71902 said:
So time is a bit of a factor. Worst case scenario, i'll have to throw the bike in the back of my van and finish it whever i end up over the summer. But i won't have anywhere to keep it or work on it. So yeah- i wanna get it done....

Not sure yet. Probably back to detroit for the summer. I have three summer classes to take to get my degree, then i'll be going wherever the money takes me. Probably back down to Indy, or possibly Chicago.Travis71902 said:
Ideally, i'd like to live in cincy- but i doubt that will happen for a while.

i'll get one this weekend, although I tend not to allow proof of my evil side...
any downfall to roasting the tire like that, i'm gonna be needing a new one in a little bit, and i want to make sure the chunks of rubber aren't gonna fuse themselves to my plastic. since this will be my first legit burnout, i want it to be a special, intimate moment between me and my bike

really depends on the tires. Some yes, some no.Gadgetman said:

Safe? YES (as long as the tires are in good shape)...Gadgetman said:
Will you get the performance? NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. Always heard it - only experienced it once.. and on my Fz. Had a pop in the rear at like 2k miles and got Dunlop 208's (best tire ever) for the rear. Bike dove like sht. Rode like that for another 4k then just got a new for the front. Difference was night and day.
IMHO - If I ever "had to" mix tires - I would put the "better" tire on the rear. You don't want a great tire up front and crap in teh back... that could lead to an accident.
